    Anyone like to suggest a good way to repaint a kitchen ceiling?
    Two problems:

    1. It’s a bit grimy from cooking vapours - the usual stuff, frying fat etc, nothing that’s got so bad that it’s 3D, fortunately.
    2. I’ve got a neck issue that makes looking and reaching up for more than a few seconds is rather uncomfortable. I reckon I can use an extended roller to apply the paint, no problem, but it’s getting it properly cleaned first that’s going to be the challenge. The ceiling is about 2.3m above the floor.

    It’s not really an answer to your neck issue but I have a similar problem and use a squeegee mop with diluted sugar soap. Horrible job.

    Cheers. I was hoping someone would suggest that. I figured the length of the mop would mean I was only craning my head half way to up, I just wasn’t sure sugar soap would be up to the job.

    You mean there's an alternative to the rank juice running down your arm and into your arm pit??? This room nearly killed me getting the bulk of the nicotine/tar off with sugar soap and a sponge.
